Strangers
Talib Kweli

Becau-cau-cau

Becau-cau-cau

Because I'm paranoid

Becau-cau-cau

Becau-cau-cau

Because I'm paranoid

Becau-cau-cau

Becau-cau-cau

Because I'm paranoid

No boundaries, no borders

We're crossing many waters

Them haters can't ignore us

The government record us

They used to take our sons

And think it's fun to rape our daughters

No, our health care system pitiful

That's how hospitals profitable

They try to put the drugs inside of you

Lie to you, say that you gonna die tomorrow

So why pay? That's not logical

See the bullshit that they try to pull

They tapping laptops like a bad plot out of a bad movie

Obama say it ain't so, in a perfect world correlation

Of the willing is coalition of the rainbow

Who the enemy? Who the friend in need?

How do you choose your target

Who you aim for, what you aim for?

Damn, still running with the race

But I'm running out of pace

So fast just the last guy to let it go

Wondering if my concentration on the race misplaced

Take your marks, set, ready, go

Evolutionary flow, ever-luminary glow

When they show but the revolution never know

Shot to make you famous, we in your face with bangers

About to face some danger, I just misplace my anger

Violence entertainers, rappers took the place of Segas

Papa said, Don't talk to strangers, don't talk to strangers

Gotta let the people know from the get go

Bun B is a product of the ghetto

Good or bad man I just can't let go

No I ain't a rich man but it's been set though

And I'm still on the grind trying to get dough

Why the government wanna keep me in debt for?

They wanna keep me in debt for?

Look at AIG and the bailouts

Stepping on the fish just so you can help the whale out

Got his ass out or should I say tail out

Need another job like a paper or a mail route

We the fresh, best in take the stale out

Make it rain, they see it I'm a put a pail out

Man, I'm a put a pail out know, what I'm saying?

'Cause I'm stuck in the mud like a tractor

I ain't gotta lie plus I'm not a good actor

Bullshit laws that they enact to keep us

Locked out the big game in the back bru

I got sacked, now I gotta get a sack to

Make ends meet cause the money is a factor

Oh yeah, the money is a factor

Damn, now I'm back on the block for the hustle

Used to be hot, now your boy just cold

Gotta build my bread up and my muscle

Haters talk down, sometimes it's a tussle

But the smoke gonna clear and the dust don't settle

Now it's like def jam wit no Russell

Like def jam wit no Russell, we'll be alright though

Shot to make you famous, we in your face with bangers

About to face some danger, I just misplace my anger

Violence entertainers, rappers took the place of Segas

Papa said, Don't talk to strangers, don't talk to strangers
